Artificial intelligence is taking over the world. People all around the world are very amazed by various things an AI can do. Technological advancements and data availability are two of the major reasons for the growth of AI. But with so many advantages, AI also poses a threat to an individual’s privacy and also leads to misinformation.

In order to function, AI needs to get access to personal data, which can sometimes lead to privacy violations, including identity theft. Deepfakes is one of the major setbacks of AI. This deepfake technology leads to misinformation, to defame people, and also leads to blackmailing. It is very difficult to find the difference between what is real and what is fake. Artificial intelligence also infringes on the intellectual property rights of an individual or an organisation. If a company is using AI to generate content for its marketing strategy, the company should be aware that AI uses various things that belong to different individuals, like copyright images and trademarks.
